Lost in a Good Book

Two half dozens, the square root of 144, the cardinal number that is the sum of eleven and one, and a dirty dozen. Here we are again, twelve years deep when I still vividly recall being astounded at another blog doing ten years and being amazed they’d been at it that long. It was an amazing achievement and yet I often never think of my own time blogging like that.

Blogiversary time is always so weird, I’m celebrating but sometimes it feels weird to mark the occasion I got a wild idea and after months of talking to myself about it I finally took the plunge. But it isn’t about me really, I like this time to share the love and appreciation for all the people who comment on my posts and who share them with other people. I love finding out that someone read a book based on one of my reviews and I like rewarding people for coming to share my little corner of the internet.

The books I am offering this year were some of my favourites from the past year like always. I have yet to put up my Top Five because I forgot it would play a role here and it’s going up next week. However, it works to my advantage because I have so many to pick from making up my giveaway books was easy because I was spoilt for choice on amazing reads.

There is a lot of young adult on the list, but there are also adult fiction, nonfiction, and a graphic novel so hopefully, if you do wish to enter, there is something in there to tickle your fancy. Some of these books were absolutely phenomenal and I will link reviews when I can, but even if I haven’t got a post yet, trust me, these books were so wonderful any of them would be a great pick.
